Windows Vista??
So the cat's out of the bag (excuse the pun), Longhorn is officially going to be called "Windows Vista".

Are they trying to lose the bogged-down bloatware image or what?
Like a breath of air... ...from a car exhaust.

What do you think?


EDIT: Just for the record - I didn't put in option 4...

Introducing Windows Vista™

It enables a new level of confidence in your PC and in your ability to get the most out of it.

It introduces clear ways to organize and use information the way you want to use it.

It seamlessly connects you to information, people, and devices that help you get the most out of life.

Sounds like a fleabag motel or somethin'.

I can just hear it now;

"Dude, you got Vista yet?"

"Who, me?" [Millenium Edition]

"No, Vista"

"Are you talkin ta me?"

"No, moron, Vista. Me was two gens ago"

"Vista where?"

"In your computer."

"In my computer?"

"Yea."

"It's a Dell, not a vista".

"Arrrrghh..."

[It would sound something akin to this diatribe. http://www.phoenix5.org/humor/WhosOnFirstAudio.mp3 ]

I have the latest Windows Longhorn(Now Vista) beta, and it sucks.


[EDIT]And what the heck took them so long to decide when to release it? Mac has made, what 2 or 3 new OS vers in the time windows made 1, and around the time Vista comes out, Macs new OS will be out as well.

Now... to give fair credit to MS here (which I rarely ever do).... The Tiger betas were horrible.
